About: I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. While I don’t claim to be a professional trainer or have specialized senior pet care certifications, I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, reinforce routines you’ve already established, and make sure your pet receives plenty of exercise, affection, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a mom of three, I’m already used to being responsible, organized, and maintaining consistent schedules. I enjoy being active, so dog walks and outdoor play are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply spending time keeping pets company, I’m happy to provide the attention and routine they need. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets, I always follow the owner’s instructions to make sure their pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure they get any medications as directed, if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I keep the home clean and secure, follow any house rules, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants when needed, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring their owners know they’re in caring and dependable hands.

About: I'm a local Austinite who grew up always having a dog in the house and currently have three dogs who spend their days hiking through the greenbelt and exploring the great outdoors. I've had extensive experience dogsitting with dogs of all shapes and sizes and have no problem with multiple, long walks each day to make sure the dog is getting the appropriate amount of exercise. I have also volunteered many hours for Austin Pets Alive and fully support their mission to help the struggling animals in our city. Whether you have a big dog who needs to be tuckered out while you're away at work or a little pup who just needs to be let out and given some quality attention, I'd be happy to help!

About: I have a chihuahua terrier back at home and a 20 year old cat and a fuzzball. I am comfortable walking small/medium dogs. Pit bulls are my absolute favorite and have my whole heart. I have black cat energy myself and know cats are divine protectors. I was recently a nanny so I am definitely capable of caring for your fur baby. I enjoy training puppies definitely not an expert but it is very fulfilling. Howdy ho ! I have a wide open schedule ( in between jobs ) but I do travel to other Texas cities quite often. Let’s collaborate to get the best care for your fur baby ! I am mindful of our surroundings when going for walks and also respects your home and fur baby’s home and needs when caring for them

About: I am a responsible, organized, and hard-working. I live in Bee Cave and work from home. Please reach out with any questions you may have! Schedule is flexible given I work from home. I can work around my meetings to do drop in visits and dog walks. Also, I can stay in home to care for your dog as well. I will care for your pet in home with any instructions that you provide. The more information and details, the better for me and the dog or cat!

About: I’ve done pet sitting since I was in high school where I watched many neighbors dogs. In this time I’ve found that Rover is a terrible service to get for your dog. Find any other service as it’s better than Rover. Your pup will be well taken care of daily. I will be working primarily on pet sitting and can dedicate a lot of my time to your pup. Happy to send plenty of photos of them enjoying their day and playing with their favorite toys. The main goal I have is to understand your expectations and to exceed them. I know how much I care about my own pet and will extend the same love and care to all your pets.

“Lily did great taking care of my 3 dogs while I was out of town. She was very responsive & even sent me random pictures of my babies. I definitely would recommend Lily!”

About: I worked in the pet shop for internship in high school. I always wanted another job working with animals. I also walked relatives dogs before. Just started my first Rover job. Checked on clients cats and feed their fish while they were away. My hours at work been cut, so I joined Rover because needed additional income. So I’m more than glad to go check on your pets and/or babysit them whenever I’m not at my Whataburger job. I’m also more than glad to walk your dogs on my days off or before and after work. I have a pet rabbit and pet frog. I had my frog for 2 years and my rabbit for 2 years. I had rabbit and frogs before my current one and also had a Guinea pig before.

About: Hello there! Thank you so much for taking a minute to learn about me, my name is Chelsea, and I'm a published pet photographer who just moved to the Austin area! I take pride in my abilities to work with all kinds of animals, and pet personality types, From reptiles and little furry friends to cats, dogs, and horses! Over the years I've learned a great deal about animal behavior from managing a PetSmart grooming salon, working at Brookfield Zoo (in Chicago), as well as hands-on experience with special needs animals, such as senior animals. I have been around animals of all kinds for over 30 years! They are my life and passion. I would also like to state that I have no breed, size, or personality restrictions. That being said I've cared for so many different kinds of animals. I will also board small pets such as rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, etc. Since I'm a professional photographer you can EXPECT A LOT of really cute photos of pets! My partner and I both have the ability to work from home so someone is always at the house. Working with animals has been a passion of mine, and I'm fortunate enough to make this my primary profession, and hopefully will continue to be able to offer my premium services for the future. In your home, I will ensure to follow all of your rules and special commands for your pet. While walking your dog I will NOT allow your dog to approach or be approached by any person or dog to ensure the safety of both. I have a fenced-in yard and a secure area where they will be able to roam. Again I keep open communication with any issues that might arise or just fun updates to let you know how silly your furry family member was.❤🐾

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember; Dachshund's, Beagle's, Sheep dog's, Newfoundland's and Shepherd's. I currently have a senior dachshund named Chubbs who is 16, and a 6.5-year-old mini dachshund, appropriately named Minnie. Dogs are my absolute favorite animal, and I've never met a dog I didn't love! At the moment, it fits perfectly. My ideal job is to be able to care for dogs while people are away, or even just drop in to take them for a much-deserved walk! I am not currently offering pet care at my home, but I can accommodate to your space in any way possible. If you have a fenced yard, I have no problem being outside with your dog to ensure there is no possibility of them escaping. Playing with them inside or taking them on walks, as weather permits for them, is absolutely no problem at all!

About: Growing up with both dogs & cats my entire life, I’ve been around a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I work well with every animal I come across and enjoy caring for any & all — this includes experience with puppy care & training! I’m kind, fun-loving, sociable, and can adapt based on an animal’s needs. I lead with compassion for animals & their owns alike. From family to friends, I always ensure your fur baby is looked after with the utmost of care. As I’m currently working from home, I am readily available for walks, check-ins, house sitting, and boarding throughout the day/night. Overnight stays are no issue here either! Depending on the instructions received from the owner(s), I will be sure to follow any necessary requirements to ensure your pet is looked after & loved for the time that I am there. Whether it’s forms of training, being let in & out, walks, check-ins, etc. - nothing is ever too much. Favorite treats, toys & activities are to be followed to make sure your pet (or pets) is as comfortable & happy as can be!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals. I've taken care of dogs, cats, goats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. I have a particular soft spot for rats because I kept them as pets for over a decade. I also rehabilitated a couple of red-eared sliders growing up, have had some experience caring for bearded dragons, and had a pet tarantula many years ago. As of recently, I've started volunteering with a Texas wildlife rescue and rehabilitation facility in Kendalia, Texas. Suffice to say, my love of animals runs deep. My experience is relatively varied, and whether you want me to farm-sit or dog-sit, I am both excited and prepared to do either. I volunteer weekly for Kendalia Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, where I am surrounded by many different kinds of animals, and I am constantly learning new things about their care needs. Over the summer, when I return to my family, I resume my usual responsibilities and mix pig feed, feed out hay to our goats, put up the chickens, clean as and where it's needed, and make sure that everybody's water is always clean and topped off. The routines surrounding these animals are second-nature to me, and I'm very comfortable around them, and find time spent looking out for them to be very fulfilling. I think it's very important to engage with the animals under my care, and I understand that that can look a bit different for each animal. If I'm going to be caring for cats, then I'll be sure to take the time to wiggle a cat wand or wave a laser pointer around. They will also absolutely get an occasional Churu as long as that's an acceptable treat. For dogs, I'm going to make sure I take ample time to play fetch with them, and that they get a nice long walk each day at least once.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Caring for them brings me joy. I know how to connect with animals in a way where they feel comfortable and safe. I have taken care of many different dogs and cats from old to young, small to big. I am also experienced giving animals medication, if this is needed. There are no other pets, so you don’t have to worry about other dogs or cats! Our back yard is a fenced yard if the dog wants to roam around and play. I also have a great neighborhood and surrounding areas to safely walk around. I’m at home all week and never leave the house for too long, usually just groceries or errands. I only take care of one pet at a time. I always keep a close eye on the animal and treat it just like family. Your pet will always be treated with care. Guidelines that are given will be followed consistently throughout the pets stay.

“Heidi was great with my dogs. One of them has separation anxiety and is usually scared of new people due to past abuse, but she was so patient with him and he is already starting to warm up to her, which is something we have not experienced before. I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs and home in her care. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and I already have two more appointments scheduled.”

About: I have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, from large working dogs to little Yorkies, cats, and even cattle growing up. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including dog sitting, cat sitting, feeding, walks, and general daily care. I’ve had firsthand experience dealing with pet health issues, including feline kidney stones, so I understand the importance of paying attention to an animal’s behavior and individual needs. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Animals have always been a part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have a pretty flexible schedule with advance notice! I’m an early riser, enjoy staying active, and love spending time with animals. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I’m always happy to have some furry company. If your pet requires constant supervision or has separation anxiety, please let me know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly. I prefer meeting pets and their owners beforehand whenever possible. It’s important for me to understand your pet’s personality, routines, and any household rules. Your home, your rules! I’ll respect your instructions, keep your pet’s environment safe and comfortable, and communicate with you throughout their stay or visit. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable with me.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I previously worked in a veterinary clinic, where I gained experience with medication administration, monitoring health changes, senior pet care, and handling anxious or special-needs animals. I’m confident caring for puppies, seniors, and pets with medical or dietary needs. I treat every pet like family and prioritize comfort, safety, and routine. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available for weekday and weekend services, including drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. Because of my flexible availability, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, medication times, and pets who need extra supervision or companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. With my veterinary experience, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress or illness and respond appropriately. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and adjusting care routines to meet each pet’s individual needs. I always provide updates so owners feel confident and at ease.

About: I genuinely love animals and am happy to carr for yours like they are my own. Lots of love, snuggles and and playtime. I've had several senior pets and am confident in caring for them and have raised dogs from puppies and am comfortable caring for them as well. I work from home and can work from anywhere so pet sitting works well with my schedule. There are only a few days a week where I have meetings at a particular time, otherwise I can work around the pet needs. Lq I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that keeps normal routines as consistent as possible. I follow each pets feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions carefully and make sure doors, and gates are secure. Building trust is very important to me. I take time to get to know each pet's personality, respect their boundaries, and provide plenty of patience, , attention, and positive interaction. I also keep the home clean and tidy, properly clean up after pets, and watch for any changes in their behavior, appetite and overall well-being.

“Valerie was excellent! This was the first time leaving my cat and I am so lucky it was Valerie who watched him! She was very communicative and took the time to play with and pet my kitty! She provided a great description of the visits and cute pictures! I would absolutely trust Valerie to watch your animals and would definitely book her again!”
